Premji slams Centre for policy paralysis

Premji's criticism comes at a time when global rating agency Standard & Poor's has cautioned India might become the first BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) country to lose its investment-grade rating, unless growth issues were addressed.

The agency also said the slowing gross domestic product growth and roadblocks in policymaking could lead to the downgrade.

Another analyst who participated in the call on Tuesday said, "There are concerns on the government's performance.

Azim Premji, being a veteran, has expressed his concern on policy roadblocks affecting the country."

In early 2011, Premji had written to the government, stating the need for policy reforms in the judicial and electoral systems.

In his letter, he had stated the government needed to take various steps to curb corruption in the country.

Industry captains like Jamshyd Godrej, Keshub Mahindra and Deepak Parekh, along with former Reserve Bank of India governor Bimal Jalan, had also written to the government, highlighting industry concerns.

Recently, Infosys founder and Chairman Emeritus Narayana Murthy had said the government should frame policies that could address growth.
